Abstract excerpt
Because standard techniques used to detect mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene do not detect single or multiple exonic rearrangements, the importance of such rearrangements may be underestimated. Using an in-house developed, single-tube, semi-quantitative fluorescent PCR (SQF PCR) assay, we analyzed 36 DNA samples submitted for extensive CFTR sequencing and identified...
